Oil has lost about half its value in the past few months, so does this vindicate Opec's claim that speculators drove it upwards?

Oil has lost around half its value since peaking at record levels earlier this year and Opec has blamed speculators for driving the price. Is the oil organisation justified in claiming it was speculation, and not price manipulation, that drove the price? Are these speculators now also to blame for the rapid decline in the price of crude?

So what is Spicy Chickenjoy?

Just as McDonald’s has the Big Mac, Jollibee has Spicy Chickenjoy – a piece of fried chicken that’s crispy and spicy on the outside and comes with a side of spaghetti, all covered in tomato sauce and topped with sausage slices and ground beef. It sounds like a recipe that a child would come up with, but perhaps that’s the point – a flavourbomb combination of cheap comfort foods. Chickenjoy is Jollibee’s best-selling product in every country in which it has a presence.
